In a recent exchange withBored Panda, Doug opened up a little bit more about his work and life.Doug shared, “Well, I’ve never really aimed to target a specific audience. I guess my humor naturally appeals to a wide range because I draw from a lifetime of experiences. The fact that I’m 76 probably flavors my cartoons with a bit of boomer humor, but honestly, I just write about life as I see it. Whether it’s something funny I’ve noticed on television or something absurd about daily living, it’s all fair game. My grandkids think some of it’s funny too, so maybe I’m doing something right!”

Reflecting on his over 30 years in teaching, the artist noted, “Teaching never really changed the way I make comics, but it sure did give me a lot of material! And perhaps, without realizing it, the way I approach teaching—breaking down complex ideas into something digestible and entertaining—has seeped into my cartooning. I’ve always included a cartooning component in my classes. Sharing what I love about comics and animation with my students has been one of the best parts of teaching.”
